So this is a tech-adjacent, digital asset, pop-culture, tangent-positive podcast - with some domain name stuff thrown into the mix for good measure.

In this episode, JT is joined by Drew and special guest Rob Schutz, Founder of Snagged.com, one of the industry’s leading domain services. Snagged specializes in helping entrepreneurs, startups and established businesses buy and sell premium domain names.

The Sherpas explore Rob's history and how he got into domains and started Snagged. They also discuss recent domain trends, such as AI and .ai domains, and some of the interesting things Rob has experienced since he has gotten more involved in the domain industry.
